The Cartographersĺ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateursŚall are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

If this is your first visit, be sure to check out the FAQ. You will have to register before you can post or view full size images in the forums.

J÷r­gar­ Map of the week #25 - Morgur­'s Lair, Part 2

The 25th J÷r­gar­ (TM) Map-of-the-Week release shows the subterranean dungeon of the dark draug Morgur­ beneath the ruins of Emperor's Rest. (The underground cave complex in which the dungeon van be found was the subject of last week's release.)

Morgur­'s lair is a large and complex single-level dungeon. As a result, this makes more it more complicated than any previous releases in this series. The graphic above shows the overall view of the complete dungeon. To be useful as a gaming accessory, several different zoom views also are needed. That's no problem if one is working with the original Fractal Mapper (TM) 8 version of the map. FM8 offers unlimited zoom opportunities. However, those who use the JPG version also will need the separate zoom views. These are available in the JPG package listed below.

You can get this map in three versions:

1. The original FM8 map in FMP format, fully editable, from our J÷r­gar­ web page (28 MB). This version includes a 20-page PDF pamphlet that has all necessary key information and descriptions and that tells you how to use the layers that are built into the map.

2. The JPG package, from our J÷r­gar­ web page (15 MB). This version includes the overview dungeon plan, depicted above, and nine additional JPG zoom views as well as a 20-page PDF pamphlet that has all necessary key information and descriptions.
